Question of the Day: Favorite Flower?

Mine is a sunflower, because I can’t look at one without it putting a smile on mt face. They are bright, and big, and happy! I have had a bouquet of artificial sunflowers on my kitchen table for years. I tried to grow them once, back when I was married. You know, the great big 6 ft tall ones. The squirrels and birds took all the seeds, so I didn’t get any of them growing in my yard. However, one seed must have fallen in the woods across the street from my driveway. I know this because as I drove out of my driveway one summer day right across from me was a 6 ft high sunflower in full bloom, with a huge flower at the top.

Anyway, I also love iris, and stargazer lillies, and peonies. I love hyacinth for their scent.

So tell me, in a comment or your own blog linked back to here, which flower most delights your eyes and nose?

I like your surprise sunflower story. Sunflowers are my favorite to look at, and I have some artificial ones in my living room that need dusting. My favorite flowers to smell are honeysuckle, gardenia, and magnolia. And then there’s mimosa. I forgot about mimosa flowers – so delicate and beautiful – I don’t care what anybody says about them being invasive. I love mimosas.

Oh it is!!! It’s my favorite scent. I grow it in my herb garden just do the breeze will send the smell of lavender onto my deck. I have a painting of a field of sunflowers and lavender on my wall! Thanks for reading and commenting!
